Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs)
The California Student Aid
Commission (Commission) is proud to sponsor
Assembly Bill 1400 by Assemblymember Isaac Bryan. AB 1400
refocuses the use of funds generated by the College Access Tax
Credit from Cal Grant B recipients to only California Community
College transfer students attending HBCUs that have a transfer
agreement with the California Community College Chancellor’s
Office and indicate their intent to return to
California.

Streamlining Financial Aid for Undocumented Students
Following the release of the Renewing the
Dream report on how to expand access to financial aid for
undocumented students, the California Student Aid Commission
(Commission) partnered with Assembly Higher Education Committee
Chair Mike Fong to introduce Assembly Bill AB 1540. AB 1540
simplifies how California Dream Act applicants access financial
aid by removing extra steps that make it difficult for
undocumented students to receive their awards. This bill would
lead to the integration of the California Dream Act Application
and the AB 540 Affidavit, allowing students to submit one
application.
Read more about AB 1540 and join
the conversation about how we can help more California Dream Act
students access financial aid.
